And now the walls have ears... oh, to hear that last name... which will be whispered so quietly as you grip the sheets tightly |

No one will ever know for sure whether they were the last. You may start coughing like I do if I don't quicken to a smoke. There's a better chance however, that they may know you were the last. Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me! |

Yeah, you're correct, Mr Martini, they will never know that I was the last . . . ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

A lovely romantic version of "the last moments" that brings light into the mystery of transition. Love charged names have such power! Margherita |

Margherita, Margherita, Margherita! "Love charged names" really did a number on me. When I saw the phrase I understood exactly what it meant in my on mind, not knowing precisely how you, yourself meant it. "Love charged names," takes a name as common as Joe or Steve or Jerry and when spoken through lips who love him, the name takes on mystical meaning. I remember how it felt to be in love with my first wife and when I said "Marionette" there was a feeling deep within me that almost had me tongue-tied. It was a heavenly feeling, and it would have been a heavenly feeling if her name had been Jane, or Sue, because of the feeling of love within me. Even now just thinking about it I sense something stirring inside of me. Okay. I'll stop. Don't know if you understand or not, but . . . ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant, dear Jerry. That's why we also adore to HEAR our own names pronounced by those we love. They vibrate and cause goosebumps ... Margherita  |
